| Abstract: |
The site-specific fuel modeling programs described in this manual are part of the BEHAVE System--a series of interactive fire behavior computer programs for estimating wildland fire potential under various fuels, weather, and topographic situations. The field procedures and the two interactive computer programs described here--NEWMDL and
TSTMDL--provide fire managers the capability to construct site-specific fuel models and to test their fire behavior characteristics under a variety of simulated environmental conditions. The BURN subsystem of BEHAVE described by Andrews (n.d.) is designed to use the fuel models developed in FUEL along with state-of-the-art fire prediction techniques for predicting fire behavior for operations, planning, or training. |
